Answer:

Most food webs have between 4 and 5 trophic levels

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers only absorb 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow. It passes through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is eventually dissipated in the environment.  

There is an energy transfer from each trophic level to the next, and each level only uses 10% of this energy. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time. The rest of the energy is used by the organisms in their own metabolism or dissipated as heat to the environment.

The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels, which, in general, turns to be between 4 and 5.

Answer:

Condensation is a process in which water vapors changed into liquid state.

Explanation:

Condensation is a process in which water that is present in the vapors form changed into liquid state. Condensation greatly affect Earth systems because this process is responsible for the precipitation on the earth. Condensation occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises in the atmosphere, cools and unable to hold water vapor. As a result, water vapors condenses to form cloud droplets that falls in the form of rainfall.

Answer:

B and C are correct

Explanation:

Gelatin also referred to as hydrolyzed collagen.collagen is a structural protein in animal and undergoes hydrolysis to form gelatin.

Gelatin appears as a translucent, colorless and flavorless food ingredient used as gelling agents in food, drugs and  cosmetics.

When dry it is bristle and becomes gummy when moist.

Gummy bears are known for their chewiness and gelatin gives them the chewiness.
